kira was one of the really weird seasons...
@Jeremy Grandison that's kira sorry I'm late
s1/s2 on netflix
I will never forget the fingernail remover.
I've heard about that scene... *shudders* Is it really as bad as I've heard it is, and what episode is it so I can brace myself?
Ashley H you bet lmao i had to literally lower the volume and close my eyes.
TheConvexDR ;-; What episode is it? Please tell me.
Ashley H I forgot :( I haven't watch higurashi in like 2 years ago :( I'm planning on re-watching it though :p you could search it up on google and you might find it :)
TheConvexDR Okay, thanks for trying, at least.
Season 2: When They Cry... AGAIN.
Season 2: When They Cry... More
angelofthedark2 That's not bad...
Sam Geuvenen Season 3: When the cry...me a river .3.
+Sam Geuvenen I looked up what Higurashi no naku koro ni kai (Japanese name for the second season) means on Wikipedia (not the most reliable of sources), and I got "When the Cicadas Cry Solutions". That in all honesty is a fitting title for an ending of a series like this one.
Rose Johnson Indeed. But then, if the series doesn't get renamed when the redub comes out (which will apparently happen), I'm guessing that's what they'll call it.
Am I the only one who thinks that this show has some of the most human characters I've ever seen?
The character's are very relatable, and since I have been in very similar situations, I get their feelings and their extreme measures, even if I disapprove of their measures.
@Hunter Ashe I agree my friend
Did you know that Hinamizawa Syndrome is supposedly resembling Paranoid Schizophrenia? And if you compare the symptoms from both the anime and real life you can kinda see the relation, which is scary...
You are definitely right
I read the visual novel right now and yes the characters are so human. Like their psych and actions is so well explained. And you can really imagine yourself beong Keiichi and how it is to come to a new village where you don't know who to trust. Higurashi for me is THE Anime about friendship. It is all about trust and saving your friends and their friendship is tested every time.
Not gonna lie. Arkada's insanity moment actually frightened me a little bit. Glass Reflection Have you ever considered professional voice acting?
Yeaaah I noticed that too
This guy will be rich off of voice acting if he does laughs like that. He may as well be the next Joker.
Dude that laugh was sooo much like the actual one from the anime.
When They Stopped Crying
It's actual title is "When They Cry: Solutions" Or "When the Cicada's Cry: Solutions."
They never stopped crying...
@Sassy Saddles lmao wait aaaaaahhh-
2021 and still crying
holy shit that laughing
I think the art style TOTALLY misleads people into thinking it's a happy anime, so when the killing parts come along, I think it enhances those scenes, since the art style seems so happy.
It's the Moe that people think they're getting. That's what makes it so horrifying.
Dont you guys hope that we can selectively delete our memory so we can watch the same anime over and over again with the exact amount of enjoyment everytime! Just me?!? Okay;(
nah, your not alone, i feel like Arkada probably feels the same way too
So my friend loves and hates _Higurashi: When They Cry._ He absolutely loves it but is terrified of it--he's scared very easily. The theme song especially--he's terrified of it and will legit start to cry in terror sometimes when he hears it.
Last Halloween, I babysat for everyone in my neighborhood (something like forty homes, going throughout all the cauldasacks and the center ring). In return, they had to have this song blasting on their outdoor speakers. . . We live on a hill about three hundred feet tall.
You could hear "When the Cicadas Cry" (the first opening theme) from the bottom of the hill.
Let's just say I think I may have (accidentally) mentally scarred and traumatized my friend for the rest of his life with this prank.
I've seen you talk about this story before on some other vid.. idk, just saying.. but tbh this is one of my favorite openings.. the thing that should really scare your friend is main theme, it's really spooky
@@ariv8763 ahhaha lol
What an absolute pussy!
The theme song is one of the best in all of horror anime in my opinion. It has a *very* dark undertone to it. Like, honestly whenever you listen, you just start to feel slightly depressed, no matter what. The show itself is easily able to manipulate the viewer's feelings, it is really incredible. And all of the arcs (Besides where Shion just kills all of our other favorite waifus) seem really believable. Like, paranoia is such a common topic in there, it's almost scary all by its own.
This honestly sounds like a supervillain origin story
EVERYBODY LIVES
EVERRRRRRRYYBODY!!!!
That DW reference thou... XD
+Laura Seaweed Are you my mummy?
MrSquidman007 Yes yes I am your mummy!
(Well this is awkward...)
***** No. .-.
It's a reference to Doctor Who.
When you see the characters get vertical pupils and start talking quiet you know shit is about to go down.
Best. Anime. Ever.
(I had to write a story for a school work.I Copied first arc of higurashi and ive got the best possible grade xDD )
MegaGameCore
You remind me when I copied MGS2, changed the names and got a damn award. Those school days were good.
TechNoirMK lmfaooo serious?
TechNoirMK thats crazy lol damn
MegaGameCore That's it man.
I copied the story to a Runescape quest when I was in Middle School. There were, like, 4 other kids in my class that played it at the time, and a couple of them recognized it but never said anything to the teacher.
All of you inspire my future assignment ideas LOL
how would you title the 2nd season of “when they cry”?
*When they cried even more*
There's a third season
Steven Bauerle ik, he just mentioned how to title the 2nd season which is why I made this comment
Oh and as for the 3rd season
*When they cried blood*
Or...
*When they cried the most*
+Kurosora Ryuga When They Cry, When They Cried, When They Balled
Steven Bauerle you mean bailed right? Lol balled.....
+Kurosora Ryuga Pretty much lol
I laughed at this show. More for the sake of my sanity.
Dark Hazel yo
Dealing with my room, and searching for a gift for my sister she's pregnant.
@@JarredMallard is that child yours?
Jokes aside I did when the characters laughed too, like a nervous thing
"And now... THE WEATHER."
DIED. I'M FUCKING DONE. FUCKING ARKADA'S AT IT AGAIN
Title of the second season :when they cry ......even more :p
I don't know....when they cried,their house flooded by tears? :p
;)
That would be misleading, there is way less crying in the second season
Honestly, for me the animation style and quality of Higurashi is some of the best. Most of what we get is so flashy and/or exaggerated it's ridiculous. Higurashi, Karin, Lyrical Nanoha, all had amazing animations. Simpler is better, and Higurashi shows this better than anything else.
I think the best part of the visuals for Higurashi is that the style is clean and easy to follow. Rather than clutter every scene with unnecessary detail, they make sure you can clearly tell what's going on in frame and how it relates to everything around it. The only times the visuals get hectic is when everything is going insane, which just adds to the overall effect
1:43 The Setting
3:21 Supernatural Horror Mystery
4:47 The Characters
5:30 A Curse
6:45 The Animation
8:27 The Sound
9:55 Final Verdict
did anyone else have a crush on shion?
yee
yeshh, i liked her melons
they were nice melons indeed
they were quite fine melons indeed, my jellyfish-y friend
Yeah. She and Mion are hot.
Just wanna point out, the reason it's titled "When They Cry" in English is because that's the Japanese title of the entire series (Higurashi, Kai, Umineko, and Chiru).
So yes, officially, Higurashi Kai is indeed titled "When They Cry 2."
I know he likes a show when he does a custom OP.
Yup
This just got licensed by senti film works. Not exactly funimation but good enough! It's about time already!
At least it can be viewed legally now. (And maybe get more popularity)
+KidSnivy69 True dat! And get a better dub.
CrashAndConker What does that mean? I read the news somewhere else but I didn't get the point. Are they going to upscale the anime and sell it on blu ray or DVD?
TheConvexDR The series was licensed by an American company again. Senti Filmworks bought the series and hopefully they will give it a better dub and a DVD/blueray release.
YEEEEESSSSSS
There's just one thing you forgot to mention. The show's absolutely AMAZING opening. Like, seriously, I'm pretty sure the only reason I finished watching the first story arc was because of that opening. I did eventually realize that the actual show was fantastic too, but I never got tired of that opening.
I 100% agree! Probably the best opening I've heard! :D
Hey good review, in my experience the soundtrack was amazing and I never saw lots of things coming. The characters I thought were good and the way the anime turns from "kawaii" to "shit hitting the fan was quite enjoyable as well.
However for anyone watching or attempting to watch this the first season is important but I dropped it around 7 times before I finally powered through it, I didn't like the idea of not knowing what was going on, but after I powered through it and saw the 2nd season I thought that re-trying it was the greatest decision I'd ever made.
***** Yeah when you finally saw how the story connected together it was worth it.
***** fuck I can't remember that been a while since I've seen it.
I'm just surprised that(SPOILER ALERT PLEASE DONT READ ITS ABOUT THE SECOND SEASON)
no one really died throughout the second season and I mean no one(I'm talking about the very end the "happy ending" if you can accept that) like during the gunfight in tunnels or the assault on the hill even the villain didn't really die but hey if you're going to gives us something after the shit we went through during the first season it maintain as well be the best possible ending also Asaka was badass as fuck during that fight where he straight up goes "This is a real punch" and fucks up that guys couch
Joseph Camacho actually *spoiler* they all die in the second season and try again a second time, but with Hanyuu in their group. Rika-chan also gets other involved like Ooishi, picture dude, Dr. Irie, and Asaka. Then the happy ending happens with them all being prepared to take down the blonde woman.
siebz100 Joseph Camacho Lol, You know, both of you really never spoiled it :3 Since one says they all died and the other says they didn't xD
The dub was horrible and this is coming from someone who loves dub....but who ever voiced Mion/Shion did the best job out of everyone cause she actually putted effort into her performance which is kinda sad considering all the great v.a's that series turned into great ones later on
right, shion and mion were done best. but it dont matter, season 2 is the most important and i liked the little purple main girl. she did good.
I only watched the English Dub for Mion/Shion's VA. She was really good.
The dub was extremely cringy. But I do agree that Mion/Shion sound really good
@Jeremy Grandison thats with almost every dub tho so I don’t really count it against higurashi
@@Zephyr_Uhh "thats with almost every dub" I heavily disagree with that. I feel like a good chunk of the time, the hate for dubs comes down to 'I'm not used to this, so it's bad by default'. There are a lot of great dubs out there and some are even better than the originals. However, there are also some bad ones and the Higurashi dub is definitely one of them.
This anime was so special, that I had to go with special measures with viewing it.
I made this computer document named ''The Higurashi diary'' where I pretty much wrote down all of the things that caught my eye within the episodes. It made the viewing longer, for sure, but it really helped me understand the mystery much better.
Although all my theories are just that, theories at this time, since I haven't watched the second season yet... Oh boy, let's see how many things I got wrong...
+Miruk4 what were your theories?
+Miruk4 Op plz
OP is dead
Sir Foop op got nail removed to death
Surprisingly, when I finished the 1st season and saw the second season, most of the things that I had pieced together, like Takano being the villain (She is so fucking creepy, it's really obvious in my opinion she has something else on her mind), and the village being involved in some biological weapon experimentation.
Honestly, there's nothing you can tell anyone about higurashi without spoiling some of the first-time viewing experience. I've tried.
All you can really tell people is that
1) First season is told in arcs, so bear with the resets
2) This show is disturbing in places
3) Lots of people like this show
I can't say anything about
STOP HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET
How the entire show is actually just driven by its storytelling as opposed to the actual plot/premise
The first episode is actually Keichi's arc, and a select character is crazy per arc
Rika knows
Honestly, this show has some of the best storytelling (or pacing, as someone put it), so HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO ADVERTISE IT PROPERLY WITHOUT MENTIONING ITS BEST POINTS AAAAAAAUUUUGH
haha, i feel you. It's really difficult when somebody asks you about things like the arc resets, you can't say why the arcs reset because that already spoils a lot, and the entire show is just full of confusion that you can't clear up without spoiling even more. If you're a fan of the Higurashi anime, you should read the original Sound Novel! The anime is nothing compared to it, trust me, it's 100x better. So is the manga, but nothing does the series justice better then the Sound Novels. The anime leaves so much out.
You can also say that people are murdered, since that is seen in the first minute so no real spoiler.
***** I forget, you're gonna have to give me the episode number so I can check it out. Chances are he definitely killed someone, but one of the "uncles" wasn't actually the uncle. either he killed some random dude on a bike that he thought was the uncle, or he thought the guy on the phone was the uncle.
*****
What I heard happened was that Mion found out about it and had the body moved so keichi wouldn't get in trouble.
Oscar Manglaras yeah, that's one of the theories that makes the most sense
This show took me by surprise, its like the writing of lost with better pacing and it gets itself out of the corners it writes itself into.
This show is a sleeper.
I agree about the animation adding to it, the cicada noises through the story are eerie as fuck as well.
EVERYBODY LIVES!!!!!
Kanefan701 ignore that guy and just watch it, eighter you won't understand it.
they can turn back time...of course everyone lives
I hope someone sends you desserts with sewing needles in it
Eh, eventually... but before that everyone dies. and dies again... and again.
and currently in Australia, people are too afraid to by strawberries due to a few sewing needle incidents.
Rena's dubbed voice is downright hilarious
IKR whenever they're searching for Rika and Satoko (I find this hilarious idk why) and Rena called out their names, it was almost like she was getting choked while yelling them
@Jeremy Grandison I like it but it’s probably just internal bias from my time with Danganronpa 2
Higurashi makes you think you know what's going on and then makes you feel stupid and confused.
It's impossible to understand this season of the show without seeing the second. The feeling of stupidity and confusion you feel during this season is a kind of sympathy for the characters' plight, and enlightenment comes with the second.
By the time it all became clear, I had new insight into what courage is.
Higurashi no naku koro ni is defenitly my favorite anime
Celesta Baaij Great minds think alike.
Can I join this club? Higurashi for best anime of all time!
Christian Castillo everyone who loves higurashi is welcome! :3
***** okay 👍
+Celesta Baaij (higurashi)(madoka magica) (dbz) and stains gate are my favorites
Why on Earth does masterpieces like Higurashi get so little attention while total trash like Sword Art Online gets way too much of it?
Because they drop the first season. Rip
And also since some people give negative thoughts about the horror & gore genre in the first season.
Mistical Lights
You sure? It has gotten pretty positive reviews, many people like it and it's said to be one of the best horror Anime-show out there.
And season 2 has gotten more negative thoughts about the lack of horror and gore, and season 2 wasn't as good as season 1.
The Master of Nonsense Whaaaat? A lot from what I seen, a lot of people disliked the series due to the first season. :(
But I have seen some negative reviews for the 2nd season. Compared to what I've seen, 2nd season was more likes than the first. Overall, I like both seasons.
Mistical Lights
I also like both the too, but I like season 1 more.
And I think the main reason for that people dislike season 1 are:
- "Too confusing" (Yes, that's some people's reason. Luckily those people are Otakus who only watch some Romantic Slice-Of-Life comedy shows for people with no brain)
- Animation quality.
- "Too much blood (Yet again reason from Otakus)
I think overall story and pacing is a lot better on season 1.
The Master of Nonsense I prefer season 2, but season 1 was really enjoyable for me. And the quality for Higurashi was never bothersome for me. Also, the blood didn't bother me either. Both seasons are very engaging and holds a lot of meaning behind them.
8:25 Was that a "Welcom to Nightvale" reference?
YEP!
Dang that nightvale reference fits so much with it's episode 67
+Glass Reflection good job with it really
My favorite podcast ever!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT IT!
The part when Reina starts cutting herself and thinking that she had maggots in her body freaked me the fuck out, especialy in the manga
YEAH THAT IS RIGHT WE DONT TAKE NO GHOUL PUSSIES IN HINAMIZAWA
I thought it was awesome I know I'm messed up already but arenas Ark is my favorite out of all of them
8:16 10/10 laugh
that laugh gives me chills every time
I think Higurashi needed an episode to show how everyone reacts to Keichi's dementia like when we see Shions perspective of her rampage. Also Mion is really neglected as a character in this show.
I agree, Keiichi's paranoia in Onikakushi-hen is very misleading, and it would be better to get to see it from everyone elses point of veiw as well. Mion actually did get a lot of character development, considering her feelings were a key element in watangashi-hen and meakshi-hen. Though it wasn't very well done in the anime.
Mion is honestly the best character
Just caught that Welcome to Night Vale reference. Feeling pretty good.
Diiiiiieieieeeeeeee and now weather
Episode 67 and this show
Bruh i watch the new (2020) one before the old one (2006). Even though the artstyle for some would say "improving", but after seeing your review...
...boy i think the old one actually capture the essence of the horror that the creator intended.
I liked the title: "When They Cry", when I first saw it, it gave me a sense of mystery that allured me to watch it.
I get you. Besides, I think it's clever how they keep it being a double meaning, as "When they cry" can mean "When they speak loudly", as in "The cicada's cry", and it can also mean "when they weep"
Oh damn, that finger snapping gag really takes on a whole new meaning after GOU...
Congrats GR, you just opened up the briefcase!
I absolutely adore you, I just found your channel and was expecting some kid with a professional sounding name, who would speak to close to the mic etc.
But honestly, your channel and most videos I've found on your channel are amazing, you deserve more subscribers!
Also I love the way you wear your hair and the clothing style, a very distinct and unique touch I might add.
I made the mistake of watching it in English the first time. Even then, I found it hugely enjoyable, which speaks volumes about the series itself. It's still my favourite Anime, coming in just above Elfen Lied.
Elfen Lied is your second favourite? But... why?
***** Because this IS my favorite.
Call it nostalgia, since this is the first anime I watched. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Elfen Lied. But this one holds a special place in that dark part of my head.
killerkidzz67 No, you misunderstand. I meant, how can ANYONE put _Elfen Lied_ in their top ten, let alone top 5?
killerkidzz67 He's wondering how you could be fond of Elfein Leid, as it's vapid garbage.
Samflaful Thank you. ^_^
Omg you'r laugh sound hust a little bit like Light Yagami
At 6:24 I have to make a correction. There are no bad endings to the VN, it has no choices and is entirely linear.
There was technically a ds one that had different endings, but yeah, sadly they are completely linear.
As of 2018, the entire series including the second season and ova is available on bluray and DVD thanks to Sentai Filmworks. Thankfully, no dub was ever produced beyond that first season.
For streaming options, the first season is available in Hulu and you can stream the entire series on Hidive.
I fucking love this anime !!
Honda Sakura I will. Thanks for picking me over Jane.
Honda Sakura That is a really good question....
Honda Sakura A month hasn't passed yet.
This guy really likes his literature... Also, it's cool how this was uploaded on Halloween.
Attack on titan/Shingeki no kyojin: That dub is so painful i lasted 10 seconds before going NOPE NOPE I NEED THE BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS OF SUB
Beautiful sounds of sub....
MercilessHatred When the subs cry
P Trudgill Subtitles dont make noises
I got about 5 episodes in and then ended up screaming "WHY DO THE TITANS SOUND LIKE BIRDS?!"
P Trudgill Eren's actor just can't yell in the dub, which you need, because eren yells so much
I must be the only person in the universe who found the dub okay at worst.
The way Rena shouted "LIAR" hit way harder than whatever they said in Japanese.
When he started talking about their faces my tablet got so scared it started lagging...
The Welcome to Night Vale reference! :D
That soundtrack still gives me chills. Still my favorite anime.
Prime example of don't judge a book by it's cover
7:50
I swear, my heart rate SKYROCKETED... just... ugh.
Darn You for showing me that
Thank you so much. ^_^ You beautifully summarized one of my favorite animes. I'm very impressed with how you did it as well as your mature tone/diction. :) Thank you so much! ^_^
Season 1, 2, and Rei OVAs are now licensed by Sentai Filmworks.
8:26 WAS THAT A WELCOME TO NIGHTVALE REFERENCE
+katie daniels YES!!!
I HOPE SO.
Ayyyy you got that too!!!
Fuk yeah IT WAS
I got it!
...I understood that reference.
Out of curiosity Arkada, do you dress like an admiral to pick up chicks who wear sailor uniforms? I could actually see that working
I absolutely loved this anime and the Visual Novel was just as fun. My favorite girl was Shion
The intro gave me the chills. I watched this show couple of years ago and forgotten how the intro gave me chills each time.
I am just happy that as of 2016, seasons 1 and 2 (apparently 3) have all been licensed by Sentai Filmworks and will produce copies!
I has been almost 10 years. Worth the long wait.
This is my favorite anime EVER...EVEEER
About to start watching this, this outa be fun!
make shure you watch everything
SyntheticRemedy You're in for a treat.
well its been like a month...how was it?
I know this doesn't relate to the video, but I adore this channel. It introduces me to a lot of anime in a professional and entertaining way, and I get really excited whenever a new review comes out (even if I've already watched the anime). Please never stop doing Glass Reflection. X)
8:17 this is the best evil laugh I have ever heard
08:26 welcome to nightvale reference.
Someone noticed
...Immediately after a Death Note reference.
Glad I'm not the only one who sees it!
in the first 20 seconds of this video...
i could already feel the evil and awesome
......... 08:25, you may think no one got that reference, but you would be wrong. ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD.
Both seasons have been licensed by Sentai Filmworks by now, in case anyone was wondering.
A couple years I found this video while looking for anime recommendations, all I have to say is I'm so glad I did. This is my favorite anime to date and it's been 3 years since I first watched it
I agree with you that "When They Cry" is a ridiculous translation, especially when it's official that the NAKU in the title does not mean a human sound. Sadly, "When They Cry 2" is apparently what Higurashi Kai is known as. Umineko and Umineko Chiru are known as "When They Cry 3" and "When They Cry 4". DX (The question is, what about Higurashi Rei? Higurashi Kira? Higurashi Kaku?)
Hinamizawa is a small village, not a town.
I got the chills at the part where you talked about everything being reset at the beginning of each new arc.
The animation only really pissed me off at one point in the show. While Shion is stabbing Satoko to death, she gets a derpy face for a while.
Holy sweet jebus i'm on episode 8 and the second arc just ended... HOLY SHIZT. Why would you do that to people over a doll o_o
5:53 YES, yes it does...
I'm on 16 and after the thing happened with the gas and everything apparently was related in one way my brain started to turn to mush.
Riki Maru On episode 6 of Kai very very sad, shed a tear at the end of episode 5 but the ending for every episode is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL vocals I have heard in a while.
So if you watched kira....your Brain killed itself didnt it :3
It's been a long time since the last review of yours I watched and you're still amazing.
Not an exact translation either, but they could’ve easily titled it “Cry of the Cicadas” which is much cooler and more fitting lol
Swear this anime is like a disowned love child of Brenton Ellis and Clive Barker
8:26 Nightvale reference. Nice.
Higurashi is one of my favorite animes. This is an amazing review! When he started laughing along with Shion I was cracking up XD
The Umineko anime may be bad, but the original Visual Novel is DEFINITELY WORTH IT, as long as you use the updated sprites. It's a lot weirder than Higurashi for sure, being more of an allegorical thought-provoking piece than a straightforward mystery, but if you can wrap your head around it it's such a brilliant story that I can't not recommend it.
When you were talking about the animation, I thought about corpse party. The second game, being my favorite, was the perfect mix of cute and horrifying. Some parts are so cute, which makes the horror parts even more extreme. I like that Higurashi isn't very detailed, it's a nice touch.
A Doctor Who AND a Welcome to Nightvale reference in a Higurashi review? You SPOIL me friend!
The video's information on streaming this series is out of date. Higurashi is now legally streaming on VRV and HiDive and the whole series can now be bought on Sentai's website.
well yeah... it was uploaded 6 years ago, what do you expect?
@@reigenarataka5589 i expect a percentage of the people who watch this video now will see the comment and then go legally watch this amazing series. My prior comment is meant to be informative, not criticism of the video.
hintofinsanity ahhh i see. my bad, i misunderstood your comment haha.
I can't believe this video is gonna be 10 years old in 7 months
Did... Did you... Was that... "The Weather"... Was that a Nightvale reference?
your my first choice when I need info on anime...friend recommended this show, didn't want spoiler so I didn't finish the review, I'm in to almost all anime, would you recommend it?
Higurashi is one of my favorite animes but one of the things that makes me want to cry is... the anatomy of the character's heads. I'm not sure if anybody else agrees with me, lol.
i just love! love! love! your reviews my friend, you're just amazing.
Seriously. You are one of my most favorite reviewers! At some point in the future do you see your self reviewing any classics you haven't reviewed yet? Just curious.
You are very detailed with your view and you remind me of a youtube channel that makes scientific facts called vsauce. If you watch your video and then go to their channel and watch at least one episode of vsauce then you'll understand what I mean. I also enjoy how you use you whitty banter and your way of explaining the anime the way it should be reviewed. I know why I love to watch reviews especially if there is, in my opinion, true "facts". Thanks so much for giving your opinion!
Higurashi and Higurashi Kai DVDs will be available for purchase at Barnes and Noble and on Amazon. The Hgurashi Disc has already comes out, and Kai comes out May 31st!!!! So exicted!!!!! Love this anime! So yeah, great stuff!
For those of 2016 watching this It appears the first season is now licensed by sentai film works, and is able to be streamed on hulu subbed.
Second season is also licensed and can be purchased on Blu-Ray and DVD
12:40 I like the slow Funimation fade in. Man, Funimation dubbing this show would be a dream come true.
maybe it's time for you to review Umineko no naku koro ni
Usually it wouldn't matter much.. But DAMN! This anime is creeping me the FUCK OUT! Surround sound headphones, the music and sound quality was amazing, The sound was PERFECT! Did I mention it's creepy as fuck? But even though I KNEW, the characters were so well played. Just from the beginning and intro episodes this anime is AMAZING! 9/10 for character development, 10/10 for sound, 8/10 for plot! 10/10 RECOMMENDATION TO WATCH THIS ANIME! For me, it ate me up and spit me out, so interesting.
ScamGames 10/10 in everything for me, Higurashi is my favorite anime of all time :p
I'm just going to put this out here, if anyone wants to purchase physical copies of the Higurashi Series, Siren Visual has licensed both seasons of the show in Australia and can be purchased on their website. However, due to where they licensed the show, the DVDs are locked to region 4, so a DVD player that plays region 4 DVDs, or one that is region free, is required. It's also the only place where Higurashi No Naku Koroni Kai (When They Cry II: Solutions) was licensed outside of Japan, with the website saying, "Only version in print world-wide."
As a note to those watching-Sentai Filmworks HAS released the Kai season, as well as the various OVAs such as Kira.
I absolutely love Higurashi. It was the first Horror anime I ever watched and it fucked with my head so badly. :3 The 8.14 rating seems on key and I agree, the English Dub sucks, but who listens to Dub anyway? I always go Subbed version

What? I never miss anything I'm watching with subs. I guess I've been doing it so much I have gotten a skill for it. I read and watch at the same time but I also hate Dubs. English people can't voice act in the way the characters need to be in my opinion of course.
***** Stick with it. You will become a really fast reader, and if the subs are too fast you can pause and BOOM all of a sudden there you are reading an anime comic.
this was my first horror anime I have watched too!
citylims i can read most subs without looking down from whats going on but its still annoying just knowing i am reading whats happening instead of listening and hearing it. like a book vs an actual movie..kinda kills some of the submersion which is why i like dubs overall even if they do suck dick
And then, one day,... in the future... you don't even have to read the subs anymore, you'll mostly understand what they say anyways! :D
Have you seen Shinsekai yori (From the New World)? Watch it and review it please, it's pretty awesome in my opinion. It's a sci-fi, horror, supernatural and a drama anime.
This is my favourite anime I've watched so far. They way it skips back in time to previous characters and slowly let's you figure out the plot is so interesting and masterfully done. Slowly making the connections between previous character's POV makes it so fun to watch. Also, the way it shifts between innocent and dark makes you clueless to as what is going to happen next.
alright dude your videos are awesome you've got a lot of passion I like the way you talk about the videos you make it entertaining not that it already is because I like anime already but you really are cool
